An up close look at the differences in the Gx2, Elite and Inshore Select Ugly Stik spinning rod handles. How long are the handles and what makes them different from each other. In this video I share my personal views on which model I like the most and why.

If you are looking for a heavier set up for bigger fish make sure you check out the video review I did of the Big Water 7′ Medium/Heavy Ugly Stik here: https://youtu.be/-vC2YUceOEI

There are many things I like about this brand of fishing rods. The three reasons I use them are:

1) they are very reliable
2) readily available at just about any Walmart
3) reasonably priced

Hey JC, I just got a new rod to replace my teramar, I want you to give the teramar a try. If you got some time let’s get out again, I’m itching for some sheepshead. I gotta a good crab spot for bait, and a good spot for sheepies let’s go.

Hey JC, this is some great info you are offering on Ugly Stik rods. Those were the only rods I used growing up. 100% most bang for your buck on the market. If you’re looking to gear up and get out fishing without breaking the bank, Ugly’s are the way to go. Personally, I like a rod with the longer handle and butt section, definitely a leverage thing. I love putting my light gear through a good beating with fish that more than likely outclass the hardware. So, I’m partial to the foam handles and that Gx2 where the entire top part spin is some innovative product. Thank you for taking time to create content and put together the episodes that are informing and educational. I know it’s more than hitting record and upload. The thought process, planning, story telling, and editing along with production is a true boat load of work and effort. Wishing you and your family a happy new year. Take care. Until next time, tight lines & good vibes.

Ugly Stiks will take some abuse. Maybe not as suited for finesse fishing but they can get the job done. If I have guests that need to use my gear, I will take one of my reels and put it on a Stik. I’ve learned the hard way not to hand one of my more delicate rods to someone who doesn’t appreciate what they’re fishing with.

I’m trying to get caught up on videos that I’ve missed over the last month. Glad to see you’re still out there catching. Wishing you all the best in 2019. Bent rods and tight lines, JC.
